What was the word on 4K at IBC? Terrestrial B

Terrestrial Broadcasting or IP Delivery?
There was some discussion on delivering 4K through IP and the panel seemed to mostly agree that IP would enable 4K faster than existing broadcast infrastructure (no surprise there). However, it was pointed out that during the recent broadcast of the FIFA World Cup Final in the BT Tower, the terrestrial broadcast was actually faster than the IP delivered one. By the end of the match everyone was reportedly crowded round the terrestrial broadcast screen as the IP one was lagging.
Eventually, however, due to advancements in compression technologies , the bandwidth needed to deliver UHD is expected to be similar to what it was for HD when it first came out.
